I have one more year before I graduate. Man y students in my department think of me as a person who is really discerning. I can understand that. I always discuss some issues (maybe always it is about art or ethics) deeply and I analyze other students’ art work. I always try to make a new view or criteria of interpreting art. I am glad that I have an opportunity to write about contemporary art. I promise that I will try to write on valid issues of contemporary art. What I want to do in this workshop class, as I express little bit above, is introducing what is going on the contemporary art, especially in New York. Needless to say NYC is the hottest place for a contemporary art. I spent a lot of time searching and discussing art but this is my first time writing a review or journal. Fortunately, from September to October, there are so many exhibitions held in the city. Exhibitions which start in the fall are a result of considerable thought, and the quality will be high.

The Met Opera web page says SOOHWAN KIM We are located on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, between 62nd and 65th Streets and Columbus. If you are a full time student, you can get a ticket for a reasonable price. Valid student ID card must be presented at the time of purchase. When I visited New York 3 years ago, I experienced beautiful Operas such as La Boheme, Rigoletto, among others. It was a great opportunity to feel how real New Yorkers live, what they do, how they dress up especially at formal events as well. Even though you are just a student here you can mix with New Yorkers. A lot of gorgeous people are there, it is the other point you should enjoy at the Met Opera. I strongly recommend you that dress up formally, please no jeans, no shorts. During the intermission, some snacks and beverages are available at the small bar. You can get a good view from the 3rd floor and it is an important photo zone. If you experienced the MET Opera once, then you might be there every day. Some of the performances will be not opened as student tickets. But there should be the other one opened for the students. You can also buy tickets via phone call. (212-362-6000) Mihyun’s Movie Space By Mihyun Moon My object was to volunteer in the New York Film Festival before I came to New York. It was accomplished. I am excited to volunteer at the NYFF. When I studied at my university, the Jeon Ju International Film Festival opened in town. So, I used to go to see good movies. It was a good experience. So, I recommend that you must go to the Lincoln Center in order to see good movies. When you go to the NYFF, You will get a good memory for life. Most of all, the most noticeable movies are opening and closing movies. Though these are very expensive and hard to get a tickets for. It will be awesome. And the other thing is Chaplin’s The Gold Rush (1925). Though it is old, it is a great movie. If you like animation, don’t miss the Miyazaki Hayao series. Ismail’s move review page Last week By Ismail I went to watch Colombiana with my friends and we had a lot of fun. The movie is about a Columbian girl her name is Cataleya . When she was young her parents got killed by a gang . After her parents got killed she came to the USA to live with her uncle. She told her uncle that she wants to be a killer . Her uncle said ok because he was a killer too. Her uncle said to her that she have to be smart to be a killer. After she grow up she started hunting the people responsible for the murder of her parents. The gang found out so they killed her uncle and his wife. Cataleya was really sad and mad because her uncle was like a father and a teacher at the same time. Then she went to the gang and killed all of them. I give this movie four stars. don't watch the move if you don't like blood.

In SOHO, it’s no exaggeration that there are all of the brands in the world. You can feel the air of fashion as you visit there. But if you’d like to get something special, I would recommend Prada. The store is located at 575 Broadway. You can’t miss it ! The store is designed by Rem Koolhaas, famous Duch modernist. When you enter the store you will be amazed by the sunken floor and I was reminded of a“wave.” On the wave powerful Prada pieces are displayed and they change every season. By Sooyoung Yang but MB fashion week is more famous as NY fashion week. It is held twice a year, April and September. Of course to see the show of famous designers you should have an invitation card and it might make us feel depressed but just go Lincoln Center and they have some live shows on screen and there are nice crowds. And sometimes they held public show in other place. For example, one designer held his show at the NY public library. I suggest: de Koonig Retrospective By Sujung Chang Willem de Kooning.

Jang Geun Suk 4 Is art hard to understand? The exhibition has many art works that you can just feel what it is and just put your clues together. The first time when you see his painting, you can see a woman who emerges in violent brush strokes. When you c loser, you can find astonishing tangles of pigments. After tangles of pigments, you can figure out what is inside this picture and what is inside of the artist, his identity. As a art student, I am convinced he is a great painter. Because you can feel the artist’s breath in every corner of the painting. You can know what I am saying when you see his paintings. At retrospective of the art of Willem de Kooning(d.1997), a Dutch American abstract expressionist artist, is on going at MoMA. I visited the preview exhibition on Saturday. There were so many visitors who demonstrated de Kooning’s greatness. There are nearly 200 art works from his early period in Holland to the latest period. So it is really easy to figure out the evolution on de Kooning’s painting. This exhibition is the first time to show de Kooning’s entire opus and includes not only paintings but also sculptures, drawings and prints. The most popular paintings are Pink Angels (1945), Excavation (1950), and third Woman series (1950–53). Exhibition is from September 18, 2011 to January 18, 2012.
